Is Elodie Harper a time traveller It would help explain The Temple of Fortuna's brilliance the meticulous level of detail, how richly the world of Pompeii is brought to life, the vivid reenactment of the disaster which befalls it. This book is superb I couldn't put it down. -- Louise O'Neill
The Temple of Fortuna combines the breakneck pace of an unputdownable thriller with the heart of a love story in which Elodie's female characters remain fiercely and resolutely themselves within a society and geography that seeks to crush them. Although steeped in the sex, violence and decay of Pompeii, the characters leap from the page with all the fire and fury of modern women without ever feeling anachronistic. The conclusion was perfect. I loved it. -- Caroline Lea

A tightly plotted, dazzling conclusion to the series - equal parts action-packed and thrilling, deeply human and intensely emotional. -- Daily Mail
Magnificent... Harper evokes ancient Rome with a classicist's authority and a storyteller's pace and intrigue. * Observer *
A one-of-a-kind historical novel... This is a mesmerising, richly detailed tale of sisterhood and courage that fans of Circe will love -- Red Magazine
A story of survival, friendship and courage, Amara and her fellow 'she-wolves' are vividly drawn in a fascinating depiction of women at the time. Spellbinding * Woman & Home *
Gift this Saturday Times bestseller to the friend who fell in love with Madeline Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles * Stylist *
